Hello. I had this with my last baby (number 4) was the worst I'd had with all my pregnancies. This baby so far hasn't been to bad just the odd occasion. Last time I carried a bottle of gaviscon around with me in my bag and was sipping on it like it was my favourite tipple. Even throughout the night I'd wake up for a gulp!! Family thought it funny. Rennie didn't work for me. Hope you get some relief 😊
